Fire Exit


Another little glitch here. We had an electrical fire at our house and are a tad "displaced" until we figure out our next step.
Thank God no one was hurt and the fire was small enough that it was contained within a wall. But the little place that we are renting is definitely NOT safe. The structure is all wood and the fire department readings showed that temps in the wall were near full combustion.

I just thank God that we were awake and that my husband smelled the smoke and that my son found the smoke - all within 3 or 4 minutes. If we had been asleep or away there would have been a very different outcome.
By the grace of God . . .
